In the uncertainty of today's healthcare industry, we must continue to persevere towards our true north.  The moral imperative to improve the quality of care for patients through better care coordination, including those are underserved, can only be achieved by the realities of the digital age. This transformation will require the medical profession to create a modernized Hippocratic Oath that extends to the broader health ecosystem. The proliferation of interoperable technology and digital health tools has the potential to catalyze value-based care delivery innovation and transparency. However, it must come along with an ethical commitment to guide data sharing, integration, and technical processes. True North will ultimately prevail in connecting value-based networks to those most in need; however, it will take continued progress in amplifying the demand signal for value-based care. On the Race to Value this week, you will hear from one of the top healthcare revolutionaries in our country.  We are honored to bring you, the one and only,Aneesh Chopra - the first chief technology officer of the United States who was appointed by President Obama and the Co-Founder and President of CareJourney. In this episode, you will be party to a powerful conversation on the promise of the digital age in healthcare.  You will learn about how health policy and innovation is ushering in a new era of data flow and interoperability, consumer-driven innovation, price transparency, and clinically-relevant analytics for the future of value-based care delivery transformation. Aneesh Chopra also explains why he feels so strongly why ACO REACH will help us reach True North. Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Aneesh Chopra -  - the first Chief Technology Officer of the United States and Co-Founder and President of CareJourney 04:00 The need for the medical profession to galvanize around the immense opportunity to transform care delivery by embracing the realities of digital age. 06:30 Why do we need a digital Hippocratic Oath to transform medicine? 08:00 The gap between patients being seen on a given day and the 98% of the patient panel that are not. 08:30 Designing database queries and algorithms to Identify patients in need of care. 09:30 Creating a compact between analytics communities and physicians to ensure patients are getting appropriate care. 10:45 The self-imposed barriers to technical and semantic interoperability that come from our current FFS model. 12:00 How the HITECH Act manifested in technology gaps, despite widespread EHR penetration. 14:00 “The delay in the demand signal for value-based care resulted in the de-prioritization in the market for interoperability.” 15:30 The regulatory goals of the 21st Century Cures Act to scale interoperability and eliminate information blocking. 16:45 Cures Act regulatory emphasis on population health is now reaching the market. 17:00 FHIR Interoperability Standards will ultimately deliver on the promise of population health through widespread data exchange and API-led connectivity. 18:00 Ensuring value-based care organizations a “plug and play” approach to unify electronic health records. 19:00 The promise of widespread data exchange in value-based care delivery and how it parallels with the consumer banking industry. 20:30 Similarities between Dodd-Frank Act (banking sector) and the Cures Act (healthcare sector) in regard to consumer data protections. 22:30 JPMorgan cutting off access to Mint because screen-scraping was far less secure than API connectivity. 25:00 If value-based care became the dominant delivery model, the industry wouldn't need so much regulatory oversight. 26:00 The Cures Act is beginning to reverse FFS-driven market failures in order to create a much more rational economic model. 27:00 Referencing the opinion piece in STAT by Aneesh Chopra and Seema Verma about the new price transparency regulations in healthcare.

Suzanne calls up Aneesh Chopra, Co-Founder and President of CareJourney, to talk about the current state of health care transparency policy and how the US is faring. So, what's the mood on current regulations and government oversight? “The general feeling in the field is one of skepticism,” says Chopra, but he's much more bullish on it. According to Chopra, based on research CareJourney conducted in partnership with Turquoise Health, “two thirds of hospitals as of the spring of 2022…actually have meaningful, high-quality transparency data.” The question now is are we going to see this information put to use?

Hosts Gil Bashe and Gregg Masters welcome America's first chief technology officer (CTO), and president of CareJourney Aneesh Chopra to discuss the innovation economy and impact of various digital health initiatives. This has been Aneesh 's robust advocacy of the space since the Obama administration. Aneesh also previews his recently released book 'Innovative State: How New Technologies Can Transform Government'.

Happy Pride Month! In this episode, we speak with a psychologist whose company develops software that help diagnose behavioral issues in adolescents on the spot. Later, we talk with one of NCQA's newest executives. Finally, we offer another dose of “Matt's Facts”, this time focusing on some historical dates and important statistics relating to the LGBTQ+ population.Dr. Yared Alemu is Founder and CEO of TQIntelligence, which uses “unique human attributes like voice and speech to identify and treat behavioral issues in children.” Through quick but complex analysis of biomarkers, a mobile app interprets voice recordings and other data at the time of the appointment to help gauge if a child is in stress, suffering trauma, or even on the cusp of experiencing behavioral crisis.Born and raised in Ethiopia, coming from a childhood of trauma and substance abuse, Dr. Alemu's journey to sobriety over 30 years ago inspired him to become a therapist treating young people. He learned that before there can be treatment, there must be measurement to identify what's going wrong and to figure out a gameplan for that troubled teen.His company's ultimate goal? Eliminating disparities in mental health treatment outcomes.Ed Yurcisin is NCQA's new Chief Technology Officer. In this interview, Ed outlines his new responsibilities and forecasts some exciting developments in NCQA's future.An experienced “C-suite” executive, Ed has served as CTO at Embedded Healthcare, which helps payers tailor payment models that lead to delivering better care at lower costs. Before that, he was Chief Product Officer for OnyxHealth, which he terms “Microsoft's solution to the CMS Mandate.” He also served as Chief Data Officer at CareJourney, an influential leader in the healthcare data space, emphasizing digitalization as a key toward improving value-based models of care. In this interview, we learn what inspires him, what drives him, and what needs to be done to move the country towards better health care.

There is a lot of attention being paid to the patient experience, and rightly so. However, we haven't paid enough attention to our clinicians and caregivers and what they need to guide our patients thru that experience. Providers struggle to keep up with the increased touchpoints and questions without the proper tools. That increases stress and deepens the crisis of burnout amongst clinicians. Worse yet, it leads to unanswered questions and missed opportunities to meet our patients where they are. It turns out that doing this job halfway is worse than not doing it at all. On this episode, we talk with Omar Nagji, Chief Commercial Officer at Memora Health, about how to close the gap and provide clinicians with the tools and support they need. Memora Health was founded on the idea that you must support the workforce in any attempt to improve the patient experience. Omar walks us through their approach to doing just that. This includes digitizing care journeys, deploying chatbots to automate the “easy stuff”, and escalating to clinicians at the right time. Listen in to hear best practices on digitizing patient journeys, reducing friction in communication between patients and providers, and how to tie it all together in a meaningful way.

Is anyone ever really prepared to deal with a severe illness or injury? Most people find themselves unprepared when thrust into the patient or caregiver role, understandably so. Roberta Carson knows first-hand just how overwhelming it can be to make the immediate transition. Her experience caring for her teenage son, Zachary, during his 27-month battle with terminal brain cancer, inspired her to start Zaggo, a nonprofit organization. She created the ZaggoCare System to provide patients and family caregivers with the information and tools needed to better manage a care journey in critical illness and injury. In this episode, Kirsten sits down with Roberta to unpack the strenuous care journey for a loved one battling terminal brain cancer. Roberta admits she was unprepared and a bit unorganized in the first weeks following her son's diagnosis. However, she quickly realized that everything her son experienced, from treatments to side effects to doctor's visits, must tediously be documented. Roberta and her husband were responsible for coordinating his care to ensure Zach received the best care possible. There was an overwhelming amount of information to keep track of and new care procedures to learn at nearly every turn —with little or no guidance from providers. Nobody asked them how or if they could manage. It just had to be done.  After her son passed away, Roberta understood how desperately patients and families need practical, easy-to-use information and tools to stay organized and in control. We are so sorry for the tragedy that Roberta and her family faced. And at the same time, so thankful for her strength to develop ZaggoCare. What a gift! The ZaggoCare System is an invaluable resource that will help ensure the best care possible while allowing for more time spent with loved ones. We hope you'll consider purchasing the ZaggoCare System if you, a loved one, or a friend face a serious illness or injury. Now it's time to listen in and share Roberta's story with your friends and family. Her experience not only impacts those with illness or injury but provides valuable medical advocacy advice.

In Episode 111, Quinn & Brian discuss the past, present, and future of government IT infrastructure. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??? Our guest is Aneesh Chopra, the first Chief Technology Officer of the United States. Twelve years after serving under President Obama, he’s the co-founder of CareJourney, whose mission is to empower individuals and organizations they trust with open, clinically-relevant analytics and insights in the pursuit of the optimal healthcare journey. Sounds nice! Technology moves fast. Just look at Dogecoin! Government IT… not so much.  So how the hell do we take the rapid innovations of Silicon Valley (fine, Miami) and apply it to our nimble little bureaucracy? It takes a little MacGyvering -- and a lot of talking. Aneesh’s goal is to be a translator between the public sector and the private sector, from health care to voting to SolarWinds. And just in time: modernizing the technical infrastructure of our government actually has bipartisan support — just look how the White House embraced Twitter! (sob sob sob) Aneesh has the ideas, tools, and plans to enhance communication, maximize our technological capabilities, and get hacked just a little less by Russia. Just a little.

This episode features guest Aneesh Chopra, the first Chief Technology Officer of the United States and more currently, the co-founder and president of CareJourney. Hosts Gary Austin and Ken Kleinberg sit down with Aneesh to discuss smarter choices the industry can make to move more quickly towards value based care, specifically direct contracting and third party apps.Aneesh first gives some background on his company CareJourney. He explains that CareJourney is, in many ways, the private sector implementation of his passion of serving in government around open data, open APIs and payment reform. His primary mission is to make sure we use all these open resources to help patients, through the organizations they trust, make smarter decisions throughout the healthcare delivery system.Gary asks Aneesh to overview direct contracting as well as what's to win here for providers. Aneesh says direct contracting is ripping the band-aid off the move to value-based care. Direct contracting is Medicare Advantage-like, but without the insurance company and without the consumer changing their actual insurance benefits. They retain all their Medicare benefits, but they have their capitated dollar. They can bring their resources to a primary care group and integrated delivery network to help them better manage their care without taking away any of their rights to see any doctor they wish. This model is a leapfrog from training wheels to full downside capitated risk. Aneesh explains that remote patient monitoring could be a category. CMS explicitly invites applicants who have proposals who can reduce the cost burden and improve quality for high needs patients, especially those who have historically fragmented care. The model allows for these entrants to drive the process and bring along a physician network that may help administer some of the services. Aneesh thinks it is traditional doctors and networks applying from Medicare Shared Savings to direct contracting.Gary asks Ken how interoperability plays into these arrangements. Ken says risk is about what you know and what you can control. The more you know, the better you can control that risk. Interoperability can bring in all kinds of data about that patient, traditional clinical data, social determinants of health and claims data. We can pull information from many different sources and understand our population in ways we've never been able to before. That gives you the power to control risk and do a better jobGary asks Aneesh what he thinks of the “patient gets everything from everyone, on demand, delivered anywhere model.” Is it good for the marketplace? Aneesh says it's great for the marketplace. It builds the healthcare data sharing infrastructure on a foundation of “must share.” One of the challenges we've had for the last 20 years is that we've built all these data sharing networks and policies that try to square a complicated circle. We are saying we want all of the information flowing where it's needed, but we have to honor the HIPPA minimum data necessary provisions. So, the broader the network, the broader the use cases, the weaker the signal because by definition, someone is on the network to do something that is only entitled to a minimum amount of data. If I have to join a network where I've got to meet the lowest common denominator, I'm not going to get the information I need nor am I going to help make better decisions for people because limited information, limited affect. What we need is a mechanism to right size the information sharing to the legal frameworks under which those information sharing provisions exist. The consumer's right to access health information by being bedrock as a foundational right in HIPPA. Now technically materializing through these two rules is a smarter method of sharing data because no matter what I am entitled to my full medical record and if I choose to share it with my primary care doctor, that's my choice and that's my right. Gary asks Aneesh how to get payers moving along. Aneesh suggests that instead of just working to meet the letter of the rule, payers should ask themselves what they are doing to meet the spirit of the rule and how that benefits the strategic plans of their organizations. His overarching message is shift from defense to offense. How can the investments you're making advance the goals you have? What apps are you putting in the hands of your consumers? Are you working to get those apps connected to every single EHR in your network? Ken agrees with Aneesh on the compliance. He says these organizations often ask themselves what is their bigger fear? Is it financial penalty? Losing some business? Will we do the best by just giving the minimum possible? In the end, what you're really trying to do is meet the business objectives, which is increase your brand and gain loyalty. You do that by providing information in a format that's more usable. That's where a lot of these technologies can play a role. That's where we get into these apps. You have the potential to give people information in a format that's usable to them. Gary moves the conversation to third-party health apps. Aneesh views CommonHealth and Apple Health as infrastructure. He notes there is a hypothetical fear that Google, Amazon, or Apple are going to swoop in and take over healthcare, but he does not believe that is the case. Aneesh says if anything, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are going to be infrastructure partners to existing players in healthcare or these new direct contracting entities who are managing risk, building clinically integrated networks and engaging patients.Gary asks Ken what he thinks of third-party apps. Ken agrees with Aneesh in that trust starts with primary care physicians. Primary care physicians are likely going to go with apps that work with the EHRs and the portals that they are already familiar with. With regulations coming up, some consumer-type apps may surface that tend to do a better job than what might have been offered to the physician and their EHR vendor. As community pressure builds, the physician may go back to their EHR vendor and ask why they can't support this. That can drive some advance here. Gary asks Aneesh if this is an opportunity for payers to engage their members more deeply. Aneesh explains that high need patients suffer from terrible care fragmentation. It's so obvious that the plan can do a better job here. The decision support to go from fragmentation to coordination is best done by an entity that is trusted by the consumer to do that coordination. You want to trust an app that can be connected to a portal, get the updated feeds and have other context about my healthcare needs. Gary asks Ken for his closing remarks. Ken says this really has been a long journey, measured in decades. He is optimistic that things are getting better. Interoperability in the past decade or two has been like the wild west. Now, he thinks we are aiming with FHIR, projects like Da Vinci and USCDI to be much more practical. That's going to benefit everyone.Aneesh shares in Ken's optimism. We don't have the luxury of waiting decades for this chapter to have success. So, while it does take decades, we must move faster and make smarter decisions to comply with the rules, embrace value-based care and better engage consumers. These things will help accelerate that timeline. Let's do it smarter, together.

That may be disruptive to organizations that generate the big institutional revenue, but we're going to work our way through that change. That would have come anyway through value-based care, but this will just accelerate. And then you'd ask the question, "If I can treat this group of patients at home, in a much lower cost setting, with this remote monitoring, with physicians checking in at this time period and we get similar or better outcomes, remind me again why we're not doing that today?" – Aneesh Chopra, President of CareJourney and former Chief Technology Officer of the United States In this episode, Aneesh and Lumeris Senior Vice President Nigel Ohrenstein discuss: • The lack of data transparency and interoperability in healthcare and its impact during the COVID-19 crisis • How the move to value-based care may accelerate in the post-pandemic era • What the new normal of healthcare could look like from a care delivery and infrastructure standpoint • What a fully informed provider and patient experience could look like • How data transparency and consumer apps can help speed up interoperability Cited works: • Text Message Alert 1 Sound.

Aneesh Chopra is one of the foremost names in healthcare IT today. He was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve as the United States' first Chief Technology Officer. After his three years as CTO, President Obama hailed his service, saying Chopra's “legacy of leadership and innovation will benefit Americans for years to come.” In the years since he served as the nation's CTO, Chopra has worked tirelessly to promote a better and more efficient healthcare system. Aneesh was one of the four industry leaders that convened the CARIN Alliance in 2016, a bipartisan, multi-sector collaborative working to advance the consumer-directed exchange of health information. He was also part of the founding group that started the Argonaut Project, an effort designed to accelerate the development and adoption of HL7's Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) standard. Chopra authored a book, “Innovative State: How New Technologies can Transform Government.” Currently, Aneesh is president of CareJourney, a healthcare analytics company based in Arlington, Virginia. Aneesh Chopra and Niko Skievaski covered many important issues in this engaging conversation. Some of the topic highlights can be found at: 02:25 – Aneesh's service as U.S. CTO 15:12 – The role of government policy in encouraging innovation in healthcare 25:12 – Evolving infrastructure and incentives to promote interoperability 33:54 – Explaining the new rules from CMS 45:11 – Creating the apps that will facilitate consumer and industry adoption of new programs 54:05 – Resources for driving interoperability Interoperability and open APIs are clearly things that Aneesh Chopra believes will improve patient care and reduce the cost of healthcare. This new interop paradigm will be accomplished sooner if private and public forces work collaboratively in the interest of a better system for all Americans.Our thanks to Aneesh Chopra for joining us on The Redox Podcast.

Aneesh Chopra is best known as our nation's first U.S. Chief Technology Officer.  During his time in the White House, President Obama said “Aneesh found countless ways to engage the American people using technology, from electronic health records for veterans, to expanding access to broadband for rural communities, to modernizing government records."  Today he serves as President of CareJourney, which harnesses open data, methodologies, and APIs to provide market intelligence and actionable insights to help payers and providers.  He is constantly pushing the envelope to increase access to data to empower patients and care providers, and has unique insights into how the government can facilitate innovation in the private sector.  Learn More: https://asecondopinionpodcast.com/
